Not to defend this douche, but he said it's something the mother should deal with, not the children, and that something needed to be done about the father, at least implying that the mother should be the one to call the cops.

What if the mother doesn't do after being repeatedly abused and/or threatened by her husband? Are the children supposed to watch daddy mistreating & threatening their mother and take no action?

Is it emotionally damaging to a child to see and hear one parent mistreating the other.

Oh no, I'm all in favor of the kids calling the cops and putting that psycho away, but I dislike misleading headlines. There are plenty of reasons Pat Robertson's an asshole without doing that.

Because People in power are Stupid:timujin: Right. Do you have a one with of a couple of guys where I get to pick which one whines about being oppressed anytime someone makes a joke that touches on MRA?

I am not saying that Robertson isn't a Grade-A derp machine. He is. But I find myself wondering if maybe this wasn't taken out of context to make his normally idiotic statements sound overwhelmingly egregious instead of just blatantly stupid.

One of my favorite things about feminists is how they go on and on about the importance of language and how if we say something like "mankind" it's discriminatory because it's not mentioning women, yet the moment you point out that if they're about equal rights why are they called feminists in the first place you get a spiel about how it's not the same and how you don't get what feminism is all about.

Well, if language matters, then feminism is wrong. It also implies men have all the rights. (Yes, men have more rights, but that doesn't mean they have all the rights. Women have rights over men too).

You could, I suppose, watch the video in TFA to see his actual comment in context.

Headline falsely attributes a pro-violence statement as something that MRA's would write.

I suppose that you weren't paying attention when they taught you how to do this in your advanced womyn's studies classes.

And this is why you come off as a pants wetter, the headline attributes a pro-violence statement as something that a MRA douche-blogger would write. Are you arguing that there aren't any people who would fall into such a group?

I assume what's happening in this thread is outright trolling, but I don't even care anymore. At this point I just hit ignore for anything that irritates me around here. So I miss an occasional funny comment from people who spend lots of extra time trying to be 'funny'. It saves me the aggravation of the rest of the time.
